So how long would you say you leave it floating in the water for to properly rehydrate? I think ive been oversaturating my tubs. I float it for 12hrs usually. But makes it soggy and unhappy looking.
Thanks
Only takes a few minutes to harvest

But it takes longer to rehydrate the coir no?

Cleaning while picking takes a lot of time.
Some just throw em in a bag after drying and then shake the dirt off...
I'm the meticulous type as well.

I just harvested some tubs with this tek, and noticed that when some of them floated up some of the bottom of the sub was ripped off and stuck to the bottom of the tub. So now there's some craters in the bottom of the sub and I can see some grain/sub stuck to the bottom of the tub. Will this cause me any bottom pin problems or anything you think or is this what normally happens?

Never really had that happen but probably not a problem. A little bit debris but no chunks

Sounds like it was over field capacity IMO... Shouldn't cause issues

Yea, I'm still trying to get up the guts to hedge the canopy with a knife. I've been eyeballing my bread knife.. or maybe some kind of trowel with a knife edge. I've been picking but I'm so tired of cleaning, I seriously dread it. Same with trimming herb, no thanks, so glad I got a trimpal..

Its super nice putting your fruits in the dehydrator with absolutely no substrate on them.
I find a sharp non serrated knife works best. The caps and stems weave together on dense grows so a long knife helps harvest huge clusters then separate them so you don't fuck up any caps.
I want to try to make something like a cake cutter device to harvest one of these days

Yea it wasnt really huge chunks, but probably about a dozen or so rye berries and some coir was stuck to the middle of the bottom of the tub. Glad to hear it shouldnt be an issue tho.

Would it being over field capacity cause it to stick to the bottom you think? I thought my coir came out perfect this time. This is what it looked like: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25087128

I highly recommend getting one of the retractable utility knives i have pictured below. I found it at home depot, and there were some less expensive ones as well. Has made harvesting sooooo much easier.

I'll try a utility knife out but they seem small . When I uncap honey from a beehive frame I use a bread knife and just go down the whole frame. Hmm, I also have an electric knife. There's also that "manja" glass coated string.

A ceramic or non stick knife works THE best. Exacto knives have oil on the blades so make sure you wash them off. No one want to be eating that shite.

Hard to say, looks good but idk how hard you're squeezing... did you pack the sub at all?

I very lightly pat the sub down just to make sure it's nice and level, like bodhisatta did in his spawning video. The only part that I somewhat pack down is all around the edges because I've heard it can help prevent side pinning. Am I maybe packing it down too hard you think?
